SASKTEL CONTINUES ITS COMMITMENT TO WEYBURN, ESTEVAN AND AREA

Released on June 9, 1999

Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Dwain

Lingenfelter today announced about $7 million will be invested in

SaskTel network improvements in and around Weyburn and Estevan. This

investment is part of SaskTel's commitment to finance more than

$100 million in provincial network improvements this year.



"Through this year's investment, SaskTel can ensure that all customers

in Weyburn, Estevan and surrounding communities receive the most

dependable, high-quality services in this province," Lingenfelter

said. "For the past 90 years, SaskTel has provided all of its

customers with the best possible telecommunications access in

Saskatchewan. This year's investment will continue SaskTel's

commitment to serving this province."



One of the projects for the Weyburn and Estevan district involves a

52 km installation of new fibre between Oxbow, Glen Ewen and Carnduff.



SaskTel will also upgrade electronic equipment between Stoughton,

Creelman and Fillmore and will convert some concentrators around

Estevan, Weyburn and Midale. These improvements will create

additional switch capacity to handle more calls.



"SaskTel's ongoing commitment to our network helps us bring

leading-edge communications services such as the Internet,

SmartTouchTM features and multimedia systems to our Weyburn and

Estevan customers - and other customers around the province,"

Kelvin Shepherd, SaskTel's Chief Technology Officer, said.

"We're proud of this achievement and look forward to offering

state-of-the art services to Saskatchewan as we enter the next

millennium."



SaskTel is the leading full service communications company in

Saskatchewan, providing voice, data, Internet, text and messaging

services over a fiber optic-based, fully digital network, as well

as cellular, paging, wireless data and FleetNet 800 service

through its SaskTel Mobility division.
